To Cut a Player Who Is Injured

To cut a player from IR that is no longer wanted on your roster, the following steps must be performed using the appropriate procedures discussed above:

1)      Activate the injured player from IR

2)      Click “Update” to save the change

3)      Cut the player from your roster

4)      Click “Update” to save the change

It is understood that, for a brief time (between steps 2 and 3), you will have 13 players on your active roster – in violation of the 12-player limit.  However, it is necessary that this be so in order to get the player properly removed from your roster.  So, for this procedure, you do not have to make room on your active roster by first cutting another player – as long as you will be immediately cutting the same player from your roster.  It is a formality that must be followed in order to get the player properly returned to the pool of free agents.
